Yes, it should be a loud transfer between Kurmanji and Sorani, so that both dialects become near each other.
If as example the media use "le" instiead of 'li", so Kurmanji will be more understandable for Sorani-Speakers.
The "w" in "shew" is caused of the loud "b", this loud is in the most dialects "w" (like Zazaki: awe, Gorani, Sorani and Kelhuri: aw "water").
The grammer can remain the same, Kurmani use it's own grammer further, Sorani it's own.

There are many Kurds they have projects about an unified kurdish language. I self have created this document, it's just an idea. You can add me in Facebook if you want, we can speak about this issues (write me a PM here).
I also tought about a mix between all kurdish languages, but it's a bit difficult. But if we know which louds are more original, then it's an easy undertaking.
Like:
baran barî (Kurmani and Sorani)
waran warî (Southern dialects)
In Pahlawi: vârân vârîd (in Avesta with v- too)
We can see clearly, that the southern form is more original, this can be the base of an unified kurdish language.
I think, Kurmanji has the best fundament for a common kurdish grammer, it has elements of all kurdish languages.
